As m0use said, it's personal preference whether to flush or not ... I tend to do the "only water" for the last couple of feedings, but don't flush specifically. However, the main thing I wanted to say, is that by the looks of those buds, I'd say they probably have 2-3 weeks left. The hairs (pistils) are still mostly white - and firm (meaning, they stick out pretty straight). In most cases ... you wait until the trichomes are mostly red - but not JUST red ... red and curled in (shriveled up, more or less). I see so many people on here harvesting way too early. You will get so much more weight, if you wait (no pun intended) :)

I don’t “flush” but I do give it only eater for at least the last week it’s alive and even 2 weeks sometimes in my mind the longer I can give it only water the better if your trichomes are looking like 5-10% amber definitely go only water until they’re done. I’ve always done this and the smoke is always very smooth that’s the #1 comment I get is the smoothness. So if you’ve only got 1-2 weeks left till chop I’m going only water from now on but that’s just how I roll😎😎 from that picture I can see not a lot of amber really and some clear left so I’d say you may still have 2 weeks left for sure

I don't believe or subscribe to end of life flushing. I think its total BS. Giving it just water for the last week its alive is different, and that I can understand. but forcing copious amounts of water though the medium to "flush/wash" it is bonkers to me. Granted its your grow so do as you please, I would say you are close to harvest.
